It looks as if immigrants youths want to turn nightly rioting during the Islamic holy month of ramadan into an annual tradition. Around 8:30pm last night violence erupted again in Brussels, the capital of Europe. The riots centered on the Brussels Marollen quarter and the area near the Midi Train Station, where the international trains from London and Paris arrive. Youths threw stones at passing people and cars, windows of parked cars were smashed, bus shelters were demolished, cars were set ablaze, a youth club was arsoned and a shop was looted. Two molotov cocktails were thrown into St.Peter’s hospital, one of the main hospitals of central Brussels. The fire brigade was able to extinguish the fires at the hospital, but youths managed to steal the keys of the fire engine.
During the month of ramadan Muslims are required to fast during the day and are only allowed to eat after sunset. As Esther pointed out “What should be noticed about the riots is that they start after sunset. Besides the fact that they start after dark, it also gives the rioters enough time to break their fast and enjoy the traditional family meal. Sunset is around 7:30pm.” Tuesday’s and Monday’s riots began around 8:30pm.
Last night the police arrested 45 rioters. One of them will be prosecuted for assaulting the owner of a shop. Philippe Close, the chef de cabinet of the Mayor of Brussels, Freddy Thielemans, said that the authorities would continue their efforts to defuse the situation in a peaceful manner, but he announced that the police will be less complacent in future, “since we cannot tolerate that this [Marollen] neighbourhood falls victim to a problem from outside the neighbourhood.”
The immigrant youths claim that they are upset by the death of Fayçal Chaaban, a 25-year old criminal, in a Brussels prison last Sunday. Yesterday morning the authorities announced they would hold a meeting with the youths to hear their grievances about security in prison, but the meeting, which was due last night, could not take place because of the riots.
The authorities are especially nervous since the Belgian municipal elections are being held on Sunday October 8th. It is likely that the elections will be won by anti-immigrant, “islamophobic” parties. Since ramadan will not be over on October 8th and many immigrants might perceive a victory of the indigenous right (as opposed to their own far-right) as an insult, Muslim indignation over the election results in major cities may spark serious disturbances. According to a poll published today the Vlaams Belang party is set to win 38.6% of the vote in Antwerp (compared to 33,0% in the previous municipal elections six years ago).

Ramadan Rioting in Brussels, 26 September 2006
Wow. Color me surprised.
"The authorities are especially nervous since the Belgian municipal elections are being held on Sunday October 8th. It is likely that the elections will be won by anti-immigrant, “islamophobic” parties."
You think this might have a slight connection to the fact that the immigrants have a tendency to be violent? Nah.
We need, The Bishop!!
Aren't guest worker programs absolutely wonderful for society?
"immigrant youths", not mooselimbs.
election probably won by "anti-immigrant, “islamophobic” parties." I personally don't like senseless, barbaric murders, does that make me islamophobic?
A little biased? Unbelievable.
During Lent my family fasts and goes to church to participate in the Stations of the Cross. Never thought of rioting.
blood will spill and people will die violently
and satan will giggle over the counterfit religion he has created.
Bump
Whatever happened to "Rioters will be shot"?
islamophobia = the "irrational" fear of muslims who want to behead you, rape and enslave your children, and destroy your society...
Where's the 'Rosh Hashana Rioting'?
Where's the 'Lent Rioting'?
Hmmmm .... one of these things is not like the others ...
"During the month of ramadan Muslims are required to fast during the day and are only allowed to eat after sunset."
The only improvement I would make is to extend the fast through the nightime hours also !!!
thank you for that citation.
"It is likely that the elections will be won by anti-immigrant, “islamophobic” parties."
And there you have it. It is why Europe will fall to the muslims. As evil as these SOB muslims can be, and the article is still peppered with references to "immigrants", and attempts at "peaceful resolution".
The correct response is that these people are not acting as citizens. They are acting as an invading, hostile force. Not recognizing that, and not dealing with it appropriately will be Europe's demise.
How long before they hold an election and anyone not carrying a koran will be afraid to go out to vote?
I'd say wake up Europe, but they won't, and it's getting very late in the game.
